Windows botnet clients & client access licenses ? :-)

Seriously though, my concern is about the impact of the
essential anti-virus, anti-malware and anti-spyware
software on each node of the system be ?

Who could seriously consider running *any* Windows box these

Not least on a system that is designed to have random people
login in and run their applications on.
